Desura Keys sent out!
We have now sent out the Desura keys to everyone who has backed the project and selected one of the rewards (and paid for their pledge). This is over 4000 keys so it might take a bit of time to filter through the system, but if you've not got a key in a couple of hours and you believe you should have one, please let us know and we'll look into it. Apologies for the extra few days of delays.
The outstanding money has fallen to about $3,500 - $4,000 which is actually quite a low percentage of the total pledges. It is continuing to fall, but doing so quite slowly. If you still have an outstanding pledge that you want to pay for, it'll be worth telling us when you do so so we can send you a Desura key. If your pledge is for $20 or $30, it'll actually be more straightforward for you to abandon your pledge and just to pre-order the game direct from Desura as that way you'll get the key immediately (link here: http://www.xenonauts.com/pre-order/).
We have also sent out surveys to all reward tiers that require them, and will give it a couple of weeks for the answers to come in. Once we have numbers, we'll send out the extra Desura keys and start getting the posters and T-shirts made and shipped. You'll have to wait a little longer for the Art Book (we need to produce this) and for the DVD copy of the finished game (we need to finish the game first), but we'll send out updates when new information becomes available so you remain informed.

@Volcris: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/forum.php
You are more likely to get a response there then in an update on kickstarter. Best option is to email Chris (project manager) he's the guy with a @xenonauts.com email in his signature on the forum.
Creator Volcris on June 17, 2012
interestingly my money has been collected, and I also am missing a key.
Creator Andrew Harvey on June 17, 2012
I'm also waiting to receive a Beta Key. I don't mind the back log, just get to it when you can.
Creator Chris Lean on June 17, 2012
Gah my nominated email was down for a few days but restored now. Is it possible to resend the desura key?
Creator Tim on June 16, 2012
Bah - please disregard my last. I was looking for the key in the Kickstarter mail system. Not my email. *smacks forehead* Cheers. :)
Creator Tim on June 16, 2012
Still waiting on a key ($20 tier)...Any particular info I need to supply you guys with?
Creator ThomasN on June 15, 2012
Got it. Thx.
Creator Igor on June 15, 2012
thnks ! just played it!
looks really good and it got my oldschool feelings of what i've always wanted in the game.
except i think soldiers should be able to walk when seated, and be able to lie down.
shouldn't they? and it should increase their accuracy.
Creator Victor Au on June 15, 2012
Sorry - just got it, thanks!!
Creator Victor Au on June 15, 2012
I don't have the Desura Key yet (yes I'm in the $50 physical DVD tier) ...
Creator Goldhawk Interactive on June 15, 2012
Sorry, turns out I missed the entire $50 phyisical DVD tier out. I've sent their keys out now. If you paid after the deadline please just message me and I'll sort you out.
Creator Ryan Steventon on June 15, 2012
Sorry, I found the key, nevermind.
Creator Ryan Steventon on June 15, 2012
I haven't received a key yet, either.
Creator Seth J Goldberg on June 15, 2012
I had a payment fail, but I updated and it went through, but I did not get a desura key...
Creator Tom D.B. on June 14, 2012
Yup same here, no email. Payment has gone through. So back to waiting I guess.
Creator Nathan Hutchinson on June 14, 2012
I am one of the late payments, i have just paid it as of 02:19 GMT 15/06/12 Thanks looking forward to this!
Creator MisterEM on June 14, 2012
I'm one of your delinquents. I found mystery charges on my card end of last week, and a new one is being issued--doesn't look like it'll get here in time for the "fix your info" deadline though. /(T_T)\. I'll do a pre-order instead.
Sucks. :P
Creator Oscar on June 14, 2012
No email yet, even know I got an email from amazon saying my payment was a success, hope it's only a short delay :)
Creator ThomasN on June 14, 2012
Me too, although payments.amazon.com says "Success" on 2012-06-10.
Creator Christian Geiger on June 14, 2012
Still no email :o(
Creator MrSisterShotgun on June 14, 2012
Got my Desura Alpha Key today, thanks! Looking forward to that update! :D
Creator Gustaf Carstam on June 14, 2012
@Gilbert Palau: This is the alpha/beta builds keys. When the finished game is released you will be offered a choice between steam, desura and a DRM free option. AFAIK this key will not allow you to play the finished game.
Creator Martin Kramer on June 14, 2012
There is no Steam support yet, Gilbert. We'll have to wait for that. It's Desura or standalone download for now.
Creator Christopher "DarkWolfNine" Muzatko on June 14, 2012
So on my $50 (2 premium Pre-orders) I should get 2 beta access keys. I haven't redeemed my email gift yet, I don't know if it comes with 2. (one to give away to a friend) or if I need to ask if/when we will be getting our second one for a friend.
Thanks!
Creator Gilbert Palau on June 14, 2012
With this keys can we download the game through steam or this is just for the early builds and beta candidates?
Creator Mats Tönnehag on June 14, 2012
hmm play early or wait for the full release, thats the question -.-
Creator Nathan Schmuck on June 14, 2012
also thanks
Creator Nathan Schmuck on June 14, 2012
Oh, whoops.
Creator Mark Brill on June 14, 2012
@Nathan. It's on Desura whilst in alpha/beta. Once it's released you get a choice of Desura/Steam/Gamersgate
Creator Nathan Schmuck on June 14, 2012
I assume Steam keys will be going out afterwards?
Creator S.D. on June 14, 2012
Key received! Unlike some others, I can't wait to play and will be pleased to report on any Wine compatibility issues...
Creator Dathcha on June 14, 2012
I filled in the survey, but I just put n/a for the address bits as there's no physical goods for me. I hope that's ok.
I look forward to the digital rewards, but I expect those'll be via E-Mail or something.
Creator Andrey Ivanov on June 14, 2012
Not going to play until release anyway. It's like spoil all the fun.
Creator Jamie on June 14, 2012
I got my alpha email now thanks guys!
Creator Alex Valero "Danda" on June 14, 2012
Honestly, I'd rather wait longer for the DVD, even a few months after launch, so it is a fully patched version.
